The Lee lab is en route to Madison, and we can't wait to catch up with everyone C. elegans Dev. Cell Bio. & Gene Exp. 2022! It'll be MS students @schultzcassidy & Deepshi A first worm meeting 🪱 #CeDev2022

Enjoying our bit of down time at #CeDev2022 lakeside in the sun!

Getting the party started at #CeDev2022:

I had such an amazing time talking about the basis of my MS thesis at #CeDev2022! shoutout to the worm community for making me feel incredibly welcomed and supported at my first ever worm meeting!!🪱

The Lee lab has been BUSY this summer: between hosting French students from the University of Versailles and attending (and presented at #CeDev2022, they also had their FIRST ARTICLE ACCEPTED! Way to go! #wormswormsworms #leelab Teresa Lee Deepshi A

🎉First paper from the Lee lab! 🎉 It's a detailed JoVE protocol on germline dissection and immunofluorescence. We hope the 🪱 community finds it helpful! jove.com/t/64204/c-eleg… The best part? Deepshi A & Jaime Croft were movie stars for a day of technique filming:

Hey everyone! Cool new UML Biology Spring 2023 course from Teresa Lee (Teresa Lee) on Epigenetics & Chromatin. Secure your place before they're all gone!

Yesterday, Masters student Deepshi gave her first talk showing her 💫own data💫 (hot off the episcope, and with an assist from Libuda Lab's amazing antibodies 🙌). Even better? The cash prize she won for her presentation - congrats, Deepshi A!!!

A gorgeous spring evening for pre-#TAGC24 lab dinner out on the town!

So excited to show off our work at #TAGC24! Catch our talks & posters throughout the meeting, and keep in mind that all 3 of these ✨excellent✨ folks will be applying for PhD programs soon! MS student Deepshi A is submitting her manuscript AND defending her thesis in May...

So excited to present what I’ve been working on for my MS Thesis at #TAGC24!

Check out Lee lab junior Alex Beaudoin at his poster in the UMass Lowell Student Research Symposium! He's showing a surprising result about chromatin & dauer entry, which will become his UMass Lowell’s Honors College thesis next year. (& thanks to Joseph C. Hartman for this photo of Alex-in-action!)

Made it to the afternoon poster session to catch the rest of the Lee lab undergrad posters! 🥳Rising senior Allie Sciarratta, who'll be doing her UMass Lowell’s Honors College thesis next semester, and sophomores Thiago Borges & Kelin Funes, who were inaugural River Hawk Scholars Academy Roads to Research Fellows!

No better way to celebrate the newest Lee lab graduates than bringing them to one of my favorite meetings! 👋 #NESDB2024 On Friday, MS student Deepshi Deepshi A gave her very first flash talk (!), followed by her & undergrad Michaela keeping busy at their posters 🧬🪱

To cap off a fantastic #NESDB2024 weekend, master's student Deepshi Deepshi A won BEST GRAD STUDENT POSTER!!!! 🤩 We're submitting her manuscript very soon, and I couldn't be more proud of her hard work & insight on this story about NuRD's role in germline DSB repair 🎉

Congratulations to Lee lab Research Assistant, Deepshikha Ananthaswamy! Deepshikha received the ✨Best Graduate Poster Presentation✨ at the NESDB 2024 meeting! Teresa Lee @umasslowell UMass Lowell Biology (photo courtesy of Deepshikha's LinkedIn)

Back by popular demand! The #MetGala as things seen in science… First up, Cynthia Erivo as dark field microscopy blood cells:

It's taken a week to recover from graduation, but let's toast the latest Lee lab alums from UMass Lowell Biology! 🥳 - Deepshi A defended her MS thesis with grace & ease! - Michaela & William defended their honors theses, gave posters at #NESDB24, and earned their BS's summa cum laude!

Thawing primers

📢It's a big milestone for the Lee lab - our very first preprint!!! 🥳 Grad student Deepshi A led a team of undergrads to ask how germ cells handle DNA damage with nucleosomes crowding the way 🚨 hint: 🚧NuRD remodeling clears a path for DSB repair🚧 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
